I went out and let the car warm up. Turned on ac and opened hood. I do feel warm air moving around the engine compartment. I then drove the car. Ac worked fine but as soon as engine rpm got between 500 to 1000 compressor started squealing. I got out and looked real quick and it appears the belt is slipping on the compressor pulley. The belt is new and seems to be the right tightness. I turned off the ac and then got back up to speed around 2000 rpm, turned on the ac and it worked fine for 5 to 10 miles until rpm dropped to 500-1000 range again and compressor started squealing again. Engine temp gets up to 200 or so and does not begin to drop until I turn the ac off.
